11-1 AAAC-6201

AAAC-6201
All Aluminum-Alloy Conductor. Bare.

APPLICATIONS
Used as bare overhead conductor for primary and secondary distribution. Designed utilizing a high-strength aluminum-alloy to
achieve a high strength-to-weight ratio; affords good sag characteristics. Aluminum-alloy gives 6201-T81 gives AAAC higher
resistance to corrosion than ACSR.

SPECIFICATIONS
Southwire's AAAC-6201-T81 bare conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:

B398 Aluminum-Alloy 6201-T81 Wire for Electrical Purposes.

B399 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum-Alloy 6201-T81 Conductors.

CONSTRUCTION
Aluminum-alloy 6201-T81 wires, concentrically stranded.
